Why Is It?
I live my life in diagnostics, everything I do I have to study on it, figure out what’s wrong, and fix it. My wife always says that I’m too analytical, and sometimes it’s a curse. I tend to hold grudges too long because I also analyze those situations too. Even when I’m learning new songs, I have to go over and over them to learn every part, every nuance.
As for cars, I usually don’t need the parts store for the older cars, I have parts stacked up to my ears. But if I do need new parts, I make damn sure that I need it before I buy it. And, I try to teach that to my son too. His old truck has those spooky moments that need to be thought out. His manner of going about things is to ask me, my manner of repair is to help him diagnose the problem and find the solution, then have him fix it.
I alway say that someday ill just short circuit from all the things in my head.
